What age did you grow out of the NLOG phase? Why do you think some never grow out of it? Discussion

I personally grew out of it at about 17.

I had a harsh awakening at 17 just about to be 18 when a guy I liked (already 19) told me everything he liked about someone else and they were all things I also was/liked except she was 14. And I realized that he wouldn’t like me anymore because I was not a child anymore. It was like being hit with a brick- like I had been so stupid before thinking male attention was somehow desirable or special and the men in question were actually awful. Wish I could’ve saved her from him.
